The aim is to hold, for the first time in Iceland, a professional competition in the processing and presentation of fish products in the sales tables of fishmongers and supermarkets. Matís will manage the competition, which is an individual competition. If sufficient participation is achieved, a preliminary competition will be held at the end of August at Matís' headquarters, Vínlandsleið 12 Reykjavík and a final competition in mid-September. The aim is for the winner, together with those who end up in second place, to continue and compete for Iceland in a Nordic professional competition called "Nordic Championship in Seafood“. The winner of that competition will receive the title of Nordic Champion and receive a trophy which he will return a year later. The top three prize winners will receive cash prizes of NOK 10,000, NOK 5,000 and NOK 3,000 as well as certificates of recognition.
